Why is it when we say we will take it easy traveling, we end up pushing to get farther down the road?
We were rapidly running out of options for the night when we found the Missouri RV Park while using the AllStays app on our iPhones. We called and confirmed that we had a site for the night, but there was a problem. The office closed at 6 p.m. on Sundays and our GPS predicted we would arrive about five minutes too late. That was when the office person volunteered to stay late to make sure we got in OK.

That probably worked out for the campground because another trailer pulled into the park while we were registering. We thought it was interesting that the other trailer slipping in after six was also from Alabama.

This was an older campground that had some problems with its roads. There were several places where the road was washed out and that meant we had to carefully plan our exit route to avoid big ruts in the road.

There were also level issues in this campground. We were told we could set up on any unoccupied site in the first row. We ended up moving Rosie, our 25 foot Airstream trailer, to another site when we discovered we couldn’t get anywhere near level at our first choice. It appeared that our move wasn’t unique as the trailer that arrived after us also switched sites.
Here are some specifics about this campground:
- Our site was gravel and not level
- Our site had a 30 amp electrical connection
- Our site had a water connection
- Our site had a sewer connection
- The park provided a good Wi-Fi signal
- AT&T placed three bars of 4G service for both voice and data over our site
- We were able to watch ABC, CBS and NBC using Rosie’s TV antenna. We were able to see digital channels Escape and Grit
- The park had a swimming pool
This turned out to be a quiet and restful campground.
